🎧 Play Boxes by Gavin James First

Let it play in the background. Let the tone settle in before the first word lands.

Liam didn’t tick the boxes. He didn’t try to. The first call wasn’t made from a boardroom—it was made from a bathroom. No pitch deck. No blueprint. Just tension. Just instinct. This isn’t a story about disruption. It’s about refusal. Refusal to be defined. Refusal to be boxed in.

This is Liam Fuller. This is how Source began. And this is what happens when you stop asking for permission.

This article isn’t about disruption. It’s about doing things your own way.

At just 18 years old, Liam Fuller isn’t just building tech—he’s building a legacy.

The Irish teenager has secured a jaw-dropping $1.4 million (€1.2m) in pre-seed funding for his startup, Source, an AI-powered procurement platform that’s set to shake up the retail world.

And yes, he cold-emailed his way into it.

🧠 From School Bathroom Sales Calls to Global Investors

Fuller’s journey reads like a Silicon Valley screenplay. He started coding Shopify apps and tinkering with large language models at 14. By 17, he was winning awards—like the Regeneron prize at the 2024 BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition for his AI voice assistant project with Joseph Mudrak. And somewhere in between? He got suspended from school for making sales calls from the bathroom. That viral LinkedIn post? It only added fuel to the fire.

Now, he’s gone full-time with Source—and the world is watching.

🛒 What Is Source?

Source is building an AI procurement platform for retail businesses. It plugs into a store’s email and point-of-sale systems, predicts inventory needs, and automatically sends purchase orders to suppliers. The result? Up to 80% less admin, fewer empty shelves, and more time for shop owners to focus on what matters.

It’s smart, scalable, and exactly the kind of solution retail didn’t know it needed.

🌍 The Cold Email That Changed Everything

While visiting his grandparents in Australia, Fuller cold-emailed Square Peg co-founder Paul Bassat. The next day, he was in Sydney pitching his vision. Bassat was sold—and Square Peg led the funding round, joined by TEN13, Stripe CTO David Singleton, Eucalyptus co-founder Charlie Gearside, and other angel investors from San Francisco, Australia, and Ireland.

“I couldn’t be happier,” Fuller wrote on LinkedIn. “This is just the start, and I’m incredibly excited.”

🔧 The Team Behind the Tech

Joining Fuller is CTO Yoan Gabison, an AI engineer based in Paris with serious credentials. Gabison previously built a real-time notifications SaaS platform and now leads Source’s engineering efforts. Together, they’re building something that’s not just technically impressive—it’s commercially potent.

Square Peg summed it up best: “Liam pairs technical depth with an intuitive understanding of how AI can solve real-world problems. We’re excited by his ability to navigate and adapt as the business evolves.”

🚀 What’s Next?

Source is set to launch this summer, and if Fuller’s track record is anything to go by, it won’t be quiet. With global investors, a sharp product, and a founder who’s rewriting the rules, this Irish startup is one to watch.

From school suspensions to million-dollar deals, Liam Fuller is proof that age is just a number—and ambition is everything.
